But spin legend Warne insists those comments are nonsense and believes the Aussie duo are just arguing over cricketing issues.

“On the contrary to what the reports have said Michael Clarke and Shane Watson are absolutely fine,” he told Drive Time. “Anyone that knows anything about Australians will know that we like heated debates but that doesn’t mean we don’t like each other.

“We can have a lot of debates about things. Michael Clarke is the captain of the side is trying to work out what is the best batting order for the Australia cricket team.

“Now I know he, and Watson, have had some heated debates but that doesn’t equal them hating each other.

“If they didn’t like each other then there’s no way after five overs Michael Clarke is going to throw the ball to Shane Watson, he’s going to go to Peter Sidddle or elsewhere.

“I promise you there is nothing in that story. It’s all a load of rubbish. They’ve had debates about cricket matters, which always happens when you’re losing, but that doesn’t mean they don’t like each other. They just want the best for the Australian cricket team.”
